ANALYTICAL: FANATICS AIMS TO CAPITALIZE ON MAX VERSTAPPEN'S EXPLOSIVE GLOBAL F1 GROWTH
Max Verstappen enters a major multi-year, global partnership with Fanatics for exclusive e-commerce, licensed products, and trading cards, launching a new shop in early 2026.
Max Verstappen is teaming up with Fanatics in an exclusive, multi-year deal that spans the globe.
Fanatics, known for selling sports gear and merchandise, plans to work with Verstappen on e-commerce, licensed products, and trading cards. This includes signed memorabilia and race-used items.
A new online Verstappen shop is coming in early 2026, giving fans around the world quick access to his merchandise and items related to his big racing moments.
To spread the word, a one-of-a-kind Verstappen card was released as part of the F1 Eccellenza 2025 collection.
The card is a nod to his record-breaking qualifying lap at Monza, featuring a piece of the race suit he wore. Only one of these cards will ever exist!
Verstappen said he's excited to team up with Fanatics to bring exclusive items and experiences to his fans everywhere. He’s looking forward to creating unique merchandise with the Fanatics team that fans will enjoy collecting.
Andrew Low Ah Kee, CEO of Fanatics Commerce, said Verstappen's global fan base is growing fast, and they’re happy to help fans connect with him. He mentioned Verstappen's success and popularity make him a major athlete, and Fanatics is ready to make products that mean something special to Verstappen and his fans.
Mike Mahan, CEO of Fanatics Collectibles, shared that they are very happy to have Verstappen join the Fanatics family. He added that Verstappen's cards are already popular among collectors, and they're excited to create new products to boost their success in the F1 scene.
LAWSUIT LOOMS: ANALYZING THE CONTROVERSIAL VOTE THAT RETURNED FIA'S MOHAMMED BEN SULAYEM
Mohammed Ben Sulayem secured a second term as FIA President in an unopposed election. The result is mired in controversy as rivals claim the process is an "illusion of democracy."
Mohammed Ben Sulayem has been re-elected as president of the FIA in what you might call a very smooth election. He was the only person running.
The election happened in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, just before the 2025 prize-giving. This gives the Emirati another four years after he first took office in 2021.
At first, he had some competition: Tim Mayer, Laura Villars, and Virginie Philippot. But they were all out before voting even began.
It turns out the FIA requires candidates to have a team of seven vice presidents from six global regions. Only Fabiana Ecclestone from South America backed Ben Sulayem, leaving the others unable to continue.
Democracy, Sort Of
Tim Mayer wasn't happy, calling the process an illusion of democracy. He suggested that some vice presidents might have been convinced not to participate.
Villars is suing the FIA, claiming the setup isn't fair. A court in Paris will hear the case on February 16, which means this re-election could be cancelled.
The FIA, always eager to sound positive, said in a statement that the election followed the rules with a voting process, reflecting the democratic foundations of the federation.
Ben Sulayem's Thankful Acceptance
Ben Sulayem said thanks after the result.
"Thank you to all our FIA members for voting and trusting me again," he said. We have overcome many obstacles, but here today, together, we are stronger than ever. It is an honour to be FIA president, and I am committed to continuing to deliver.
Even though he ran unopposed, the president hit all the right notes, sounding thankful and dedicated. Still, with only one candidate, the result was very efficient.
As the FIA moves into the next four years with Ben Sulayem, the discussion about how fair and open elections are may continue. But for now, the result was as expected as a safety car on a rainy day in Monaco.
F1 WORLD CHAMPION LANDO NORRIS NOMINATED FOR PRESTIGIOUS BBC SPOTY AWARD
Lando Norris, F1's newest World Champion, is up for the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award. He won the title by a razor-thin two points over Max Verstappen.
F1's new world champion, Lando Norris, is up for the 2025 BBC Sports Personality of the Year award.
The McLaren racer came in third at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, which was enough to win the title over Red Bull's Max Verstappen by just two points—the tightest finish in F1 in 15 years.
Norris grabbed his first world championship, making him the first McLaren driver to win the title since Lewis Hamilton back in 2008.
The 26-year-old, who won seven races this year, is also Britain's 11th world champion and the 35th in F1 history.
Norris is on the shortlist with England footballers Hannah Hampton and Chloe Kelly, rugby player Ellie Kildunne, darts player Luke Littler, and golfer Rory McIlroy.
The winner will be picked by a public vote during the BBC One show on Thursday, December 18.
This year's BBC SPOTY will be at MediaCityUK in Salford, Manchester, hosted by Gabby Logan, Alex Scott, and Clare Balding.
Hamilton, a seven-time world champion, has won the BBC SPOTY award twice, in 2014 and 2020.
Alex Kay-Jelski, the director of BBC Sport, said, This year in sport has been amazing, with athletes giving performances that will be remembered forever. They've all had moments of brilliance that made 2025 special. It's been great to watch, and I'm excited to celebrate what they've done and see who the country picks as the BBC Sports Personality of the Year.
